Penoyre and Prasad are that rarity in contemporary architecture; a modernist practice without any discernible ego.
Founded in the mid 1980s by Greg Penoyre and Sunand Prasad, the firm has carved a quiet niche as specialists in healthcare, education and housing, as well as the subtle reinvention of existing structures.
'Transformations' sets out work from the last two decades and explains the genesis of their key projects. You probably couldn't name a P and P building, but their quiet influence is an object lesson in how modernism can be successfully divorced from unnecessary sound and fury.
